gala day in town. Business has been
nearly suspended and the entire time
given over to enjoyment of winter sports.

its utmost capacity. At : tonight the
grand procession was formed, headed by

bers of the snow-shOe club, ladies' and

attractive was % feet long, owned by the
employees of the Lane Manufacturing
company. On this We're two small sta

Another noticeable one was a representa-
ton of Liberty Enlightening the World, "

up the decorations. The procession cX-
tended over half mile, marching in com
pact order with Il perfect shower of rock
cts and roman candles discharLing during
the entire march from all points of the
procession, and at many points red lights
were kept burning. The town is bril-
liantly lighted by electric lights and deco
rated with flags on all the public build
ings and many private residences. The
sports wound up this evening with coast
ing and tobOgganing.

tion, all patriotic men should keep an
eye upon the Nations enemies. The
old serpent has been wriggling along
through the grasses of the political
field for years. watching for conven-
lent and safe opportunity to raise his
head. But the eyes of patriotism
have been upon him, and when he
lifted his head to caress and carry
away the Rebel Battle Flags he re-
ceiyed blow which sent hin to grass
again. And thus the common enemy
must be watched. There is one dis
tinguishing feature about Democracy
it never changes. The same spirit
of sympathy with the South which
characterized so many of its followers
during the war, is strongly discernable
yet, and the Democratic papers Of
Ohio, almost without exception, will
Jump at saying of Fitz Lee or jeff
Davis, as the most brilliant flashes in
the literary world. 1t is the same old
| South. and the same old Democratic
party. 1t is not safe to trust it. 1t
is trcacherous 1t is plea with our
Democratic friends to say 'the war is
| over, the questions involved in that
contest were settled at Appomattox. :"
| Well, we were all pleased to take that
view Of it, once. and, relying upon the
boasted chivalry and fine sense Of
honor of the Southern Statesmen,
Grant changed what might have been
| a humiliating surrender into an inter-
| change of soldierly courtesy, to use
such term. The people were willing
Grant should send Lees men back
home with their horses and private
property, in the hope that they, rec
| ognizing the significance of their de-
feat, might set to work building up
the stricken South, and advancing the
interests of the whole country. The
first result which answered this hope
Of the people and this generosity of
Grant and the Government he repre-
sented, was the armed rihe-club, and
the soft speech gave way to the mid
night raid and murder. This chival-
alrous conduct was kept up until the
colored man-who, through the vic
torious armies of the North, had been
freed and made citizen-was depriv-
ed of his right of suffrage. But a
short time ago a noted Georgian gave
public utterance to the expression that
the only difference in regard to the
nigger is that before the war we got
his work for his board and clothes,
and now we get his work and he
boards and clothes himself" So the
same old, rebellious, "nigger"- hating,
spirit has come on down, accompanied
by the same spirit of hatred of every
thing to which could be attached the
term Yankee"

The Commercial Gazette aptly por-
trays Gen" Thomas e. Powell as a
paper General, sort of political
jumplng-iack, sprung before the peo-
pie of Ohio for the purpose of catch
ing votes. It has long been notice
able feature of our political system,
that the Democratic party has gone
into ecstacies every time it secured a
candidate who could lay claim to hav-
ing seen military service. But the re-
suit Of such canvass has not gener-
ally been satisfactory to the Democra-
cy. Even the beilliant Gen. Ewing,
and that brave soldier Gen. Rice, were
sadly left, in Ohio. The same fate
awaits Powell. He is a sort Of post
ed-up candidate-having a patch to
attract the attention Of the soldiers,
one for the Welsh citizens, one for
the moss-back Democrats, and so on
through. After it is all summed up,
the people of Ohio will declare him a
very weak monument to Democratic
folly.

success, in every way. Thus far the
following regiments have decided to
hold reunions here on those days:
Ninety first Ohio, Fifty-sixth Ohio,
One Hundred and Seventy-third Ohio,
First Ohio Heavy Artillery, and nego-
tiations in progress to bring others.
Among the soldiers attending, a large
number of regiments will be repre-
sented The railroads will carry pas
sengers at reduced rates, there will be
abundant sleeping accommodations,
meals will be arranged for at reasona-
BILE rates, and everything done to rem
der the coming, enjoying, and going,
of the people, successful and comfort
able. We trust that every soldier in
the county will make it a point to be
here on those days. 1t will be the
finest opportunity ever offered in
Jackson County for taking old COM
rades by the hand, and renewing old
acquaintance. It will be the first re-
union Of any magnitude ever attempt
ed in the county, and there are special
reasons why all should work for its
entire success. Good speakers will be
secured, splendid music will be on
hand, q comfortable place for holding
the sessions. and I. good time gener-
